CONSTITUTION. 



CONSTITUTION 

OF THE 

General Society of Sons of the Revolution. 



IT BEING evident, from a steady decline of a proper 
celebration of the National holidays of the United 
States of America, that popular concern in the 
events and men of the war of the Revolution is gradu- 
ally declining, and that such lack of interest is attribu- 
table, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly 
increasing flood of immigration from foreign countries, 
as to the neglect, on the part of descendants of Revo- 
lutionary heroes, to perform their duty in keeping before 
the public mind the memory of the services of their 
ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; there- 
fore, the Society of Sons of the Revolution has been 
instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, 
in the military, naval and civil service of the Colonies 
and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or coun- 
sel, achieved the independence of the country, and to 
further the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the 
birthday of Washington, and of prominent events con- 
nected with the war of the Revolution ; to collect and 
secure for preservation the rolls, records and other docu- 



18 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. 

ments relating to that period ; to inspire the members 
of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their fore- 
fathers ; and to promote the feeHng of friendship among 
them. 

The General Society shall be divided into State Soci- 
eties, which shall meet annually on the day appointed 
therefor in their respective by-laws, and oftener if found 
expedient ; and at such annual meeting the reasons for 
the institution of the Society shall be considered, and 
the best measures for carrying them into effect adopted. 

The State Societies, at each annual meeting, shall 
choose by a majority of the votes present, a President, 
a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a Treasurer, a 
Chaplain, and such other officers as may by them respect- 
ively be deemed necessary, together with a Board of 
Managers consisting of these officers and of nine other 
members, all of whom shall retain their respective posi- 
tions until their successors are duly chosen. 

Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted an- 
nually, or oftener, to the other State Societies, a circular 
letter calling attention to whatever may be thought 
worthy of observation respecting the welfare of the 
Society or of the general union of the States, and giving 
information of the officers chosen for the year ; and 
copies of these letters shall also be transmitted to the 
General Secretary, to be preserved among the records 
of the General Society. 

The State Societies shall regulate all matters respect- 
ing their own affairs, consistent with the general good 



CONSTITUTION. 19 

of the Society ; judge of the quaHfications of their 
members or of those proposed for membership, subject, 
however, to the provisions of this Constitution ; and 
expel any member who, by conduct unbecoming a gen- 
tleman or a man of honor, or by an opposition to the 
interests of the community in general or of the Society 
in particular, may render himself unworthy to continue 
in membership. 

In order to form funds that may be respectable, each 
member shall contribute, upon his admission to the 
Society and annually thereafter, such sums as the by- 
laws of the respective State Societies may require ; but 
any of such State Societies may provide for the endow- 
ment of memberships by the payment of proper sums 
in capitalization, which sums shall be properly invested 
as a permanent fund, the income only of which shall be 
expended. 

The regular meeting of the General Society shall be 
held every three years, and special meetings may be held 
upon the order of the General President, or upon the 
request of two of the State Societies, and such meetings 
shall consist of the General Officers and a representa- 
tion not exceeding five deputies from each State Society, 
and the necessary expenses of such meeting shall be 
borne by the State Societies. 

At the regular meeting, a General President, Vice- 
President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, 
Assistant Treasurer and Chaplain shall be chosen by a 
majority of the votes present, to serve until the next 



20 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. 

regular general meeting, or until their successors are 
duly chosen. 

At each general meeting the circular letters which have 
been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be 
considered, and all measures taken which shall conduce 
to the general welfare of the Society. 

The General Society shall have power at any meeting 
to admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and 
determine all questions affecting the qualifications for 
membership in or the welfare of any State Society as 
may, by proper memorial, be presented by such State 
Society for consideration. 

Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, 
of good character, and a descendant of one who, as a 
mihtary, naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, 
in actual service, under the authority of any of the thir- 
teen Colonies or States or of the Continental Congress, 
and remaining always loyal to such authority, or a 
descendant of one who signed the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence, or of one who, as a member of the Conti- 
nental Congress or of the Congress of any of the 
Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by or 
under the authority of any such legislative bodies, 
actually assisted in the establishment of American inde- 
pendence by services rendered during the war of the 
Revolution, becoming thereby liable to conviction of 
treason against the government of Great Britain, but 
remaining always loyal to the authority of the Colonies 
or States, shall be eligible to membership in the Society. 



CONSTITUTION. 



21 



The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to 
the General Secretary a list of the members thereof, 
tosrether with the names and official designations of 
those from whom such members derive claim to mem- 
bership, and thereafter upon the admission of members 
in each State Society, the Secretary thereof shall transmit 
to the General Secretary information respecting such 
members similar to that herein required. 

The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a 
badge suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the 
badge to be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one 
and one-quarter inches in length, and one and one-eighth 
inches in width ; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, 
with wings displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a 
medallion of gold in the center, elliptical in form, bear- 
ing on its face the figure of a soldier in Continental 
uniform, with musket slung ; beneath, the figures 1775 ; 
the medallion surrounded by thirteen raised gold stars 
of five points each upon a border of dark blue enamel. 
On the reverse side, in the center, a medallion corres- 
ponding in form to that on the obverse, and also in 
gold, bearing on its face the Houdon portrait of Wash- 
ington in bas-relief, encircled by the legend, "Sons of 
the Revolution;" beneath, the figures 1883; and upon 
the reverse of the eagle the number of the badge to be 
engraved ; the medallion to be surrounded by a plain 
gold border, conforming in dimensions to the obverse ; 
the ribbon shall be dark blue, ribbed and watered, edged 



22 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. 

with bufif^ one and one-quarter inches wide, and one and 
one-half inches in displayed length. 

The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the 
members on all occasions when they assemble as such for 
any stated purpose or celebration, and may be worn on 
any occasion of ceremony ; it shall be carried conspicu- 
ously on the left breast, but members who are or have 
been officers of the Society may wear the insignia sus- 
pended from the ribbon around the neck. 

The custodian of the insignia shall be the General 
Secretary, who shall issue them to members of the 
Society under such proper rules as may be formulated 
by the General Society, and he shall keep a register of 
such issues wherein each insignia issued may be identi- 
fied by the number thereof. 

The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths 
inches in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a 
Minute-man in Continental uniform, standing on a 
ladder leading to a belfry ; in his left hand he holds a 
musket and an olive branch, whilst his right grasps 
a bell-rope ; above, the cracked Liberty Bell ; issuing 
therefrom a ribbon bearing the motto of the Society, 
Exegi monume7ttum cgre perennius ; across the top of the 
ladder, on a ribbon, the figures 1776; and on the left 
of the Minute-man, and also on a ribbon, the figures 
1883, the year of the formation of the Society; the 
whole encircled by a band three-eighths of one inch wide ; 
thereon at the top thirteen stars of five points each ; 



CONSTITUTION. 28 

at the bottom the name of the General Society, or of 
the State Society to which the seal belongs. 



By an Article in addition to and amendment of the 
foregoing Constitution, proposed at a meeting of the 
General Society, held at the State-house, Annapolis, 
April 19th, 1894, referred by the General Society to the 
several State Societies, for their corporate action, adopted 
by each of them and so certified by the General Sec- 
retary to the General Society at a meeting thereof, held 
at Savannah, April 20th, 1896, and thereupon taking 
effect, the additional offices of Second General Vice- 
President, General Registrar and General Historian 
were established. 



By an Amendment proposed at a meeting of the Gen- 
eral Society, held at Denver, Colorado, April 19th, 1899, 
referred by the General Society to the several State 
Societies for their corporate action, adopted by each of 
them and so certified by the General Secretary to the 
General Society at a meeting thereof, held at Washing- 
ton, D. C, April 19th, 1905, and thereupon taking effect, 
the seventh section of the foregoing Constitution was 
amended by striking out the words, " of the General 
Officers and a representation not exceeding five deputies 
from each State Society," and inserting in their place 
the words, " of two delegates from each State Society 



24 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. 

and one additional delegate for every one hundred 
members, or major fraction thereof ; and on all questions 
arising at meetings of the General Society each delegate 
there present shall be entitled to one vote, and no votes 
shall be taken by States."
